Up for sale, a 1962 Fender Deluxe 1x12 tube amp in exceptional condition and in perfect working order, freshly serviced and loaded with a matched JJ tube set. Manufactured in the brief Brown Panel Pre-CBS era, this amp features the 6G3 circuit, providing a perfect middle ground between the warmth and dynamic range of the Tweed amps that preceded it and the clarity and chime of the Black Panel amps that would be introduced a couple years later. This Deluxe offers everything from rich and mellow tonalities to twangy and crystalline bite at the turn of a knob. The bias-based tremolo circuit is deep and throbbing, with a very smooth waveform and a tone that has an almost three-dimensional quality. It's truly one of the best examples of this classic Fender effect.
The circuit is extremely original, and the stock transformers date to the 35th and 43rd weeks of '62, manufactured by Fender's primary transformer supplier in the era, Schumacher. The preamp retains the majority of the blue molded Ajax caps central to the sweet, musical response of the 6G3 circuit (with a couple vintage-spec SoZo replacements), and all of the original pots are intact too. The power supply has been professionally recapped, and the power cable has been upgraded to a modern three-prong. The tubes are all modern JJ-made valves.
The stock Oxford 12K5 speaker is intact with a clean frame and date code from the 41st week of 1962. Inside the cab, the original tube chart is present with an "LL" date stamp which translates to December of '62. Cosmetically, this amp is notably clean, with original rough brown tolex and wheat grillcloth. The original chassis straps and sphinx glides (feet) are intact, and even the original leather handle is in great shape. The faceplate is extremely well-kept, retaining its full complement of brown barrel knobs.
A modern replica one-button tremolo footswitch is included, along with a modern Victoria Luggage-style brown canvas cover.
